While waiting endlessly in vain for someone to start manufacuring again a Defendoor fuel filler cover or similar, I noticed this product from Defender Upgrades perhaps a little pricey compared to the Defendoor but a nice little mod none the less.
Available from 15th April... Click image to enlarge http://defenderupgrades.co.uk/product/land...aluminium/ For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at.. http://www.youtube.com/user/conwy1 |

Go for it Gilarion, and then let us all know how good value you think it is.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

My first thought was the text had been spat out by google translate.
Then I read the bit about Yorkshire and realised it was penned by a semi-literate. Shocking.

I don't like to be too harsh but I agree with other comments, the price is prohibitive and the web blurb is well, interesting
On the up side, nice looking product and perhaps production volumes may bring the price down. Sweatysock ------------- 110 CSW TDCI (Puma) 2007 |

The text seems like an identical story to what the Defendoor designers had.....

Don't get me wrong, but gone are the days of fuel theft by syphon.
if a tea leaf wants my fuel, they won't be bothered by a locking fuel cap or a door. they'll just stab the tank and flush it into a bucket. I actually like the uproar stuff normally too and defender upgrades who are quite a decent ooutfit too is way too overpriced for a cat flap. |

Perhaps I'm missing something, but why not just have a locking fuel cap, which can be picked up with some change from a tenner?

^^ Agree. Between those two new fuel cap covers and my look, I know which I prefer.

Looking at the photos when the “door” is open it appears to sit against the wheel arch.....at that price I would expect it to hover just above the wheel arch and close in total silence upon verbal command 2015 HT XS 90
